My Acer Aspire One has an internal hard drive and that's it.
When I installed Fedora on it, I put a Fedora livecd on a usb flashdrive (the same one I'm trying to use for this job, in fact) and it just worked.
Well, yeah, that's what it's supposed to do. When you boot from a "livecd" image, that's all you're doing - booting from that image. It doesn't install anything.
If I could get a netinstall or something going on this, that would suit me too. But again, I have no external drives for it.
Again, I'm no expert here, but if you can get a livecd image written on a USB flash drive to boot, you should be able to get a netinstall cd image to boot just as well, from a USB drive. That "should" do the trick (if it will boot at all).
Someone, please, correct me if I'm wrong....
